Deep Affection: Honey, Come Back To Me

Chapter 164 A Target Of Public Criticism

The atmosphere in the dining room became more hostile, as if they were suddenly put into a battlefield.

Jessica began confronting Angela. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm brainless? I've investigated. All the students in L University said that Nina was James' girlfriend."

"No, it's not like that." While James was explaining, he peeked over at out of the corner of his eye. John sat dead silent. His eyelashes hid the emotion filling his eyes.

James knew John very well. The more silent John was, the more ruthless he would become. The whole family would be about to suffer.

On the other hand, Nina was still sitting calmly.

James swallowed and cowered in fear.

"Jessica, you are simple-minded. I know that you always believe whatever anyone tells you. You aren't a little girl anymore. You should know how to think for yourself. It's fine to believe a rumor once or twice, but any more than that is foolish." Angela was not a woman to be trifled with.

Nina opened her eyes and looke

a clearly felt his sadness. She stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Dad, he is joking. We will visit you often in the future."

"Really?" Sam's gloomy eyes lit up in an instant and tears filled them in hopefulness.

Nina promised with a smile, "Yes."

"That's good." 'She is so considerate!

She's much more sensible than that little bastard.'

Sam looked at John and hoped that he would affirm what Nina said. Nina held John's hand, indicating that he should say something.

"Do you have the final say?" John asked calmly.

"Of course." Nina raised her eyebrows.

John didn't refute, which could only mean he was giving in.

It was settled then. He would come back to visit.

Sam quickly gave up his gloomy exterior and the glee beamed from his face.

This family dinner ended in discord.

As soon as John and Nina walked out, they met Dora, who was waiting for them outside and greeted them excitedly.

"Uncle John, Aunt Nina, my parents asked me to invite you to dinner."
